Cuitzeo is a small village that we likely would have overlooked. San Juan del Lago is even smaller. These two cute little places could have been missed, and in fact often are. The cuota (toll) road goes right past them and most people do not exit. We had researched a place that would break up … More Cuitzeo and San Juan del Lago- One mans vision!
When we finally left San Juan Teotihuacan, we didn’t go far. Just a short drive away is the archeological site of Tula in the town of Tula de Allende. It is often overlooked, because Teotihuacan is so popular. But we wanted to take the time to look at the Toltec warriors with their atlatls and … More Tula-
Teotihuacan is one of those places that we visited briefly when we passed through in 2001. Coming back this time meant spending more time in the community and at the archeological site. The RV park in the town of San Juan Teotihuacan is a comfortable place to relax and stay a while. The grassy field … More Teotihuacan- pyramids from our past
Some of the places we visit have been suggested by other travelers or by folks along the route. But the stop at Tolantango made our list several years ago. After seeing a story about these waters, we knew that we would need to go there when we were in the region. After our … More The amazing blue waters of Grutas Tolantango

Near the town of Rio Verde in the desert of San Luis Potosi, Mexico there is a strange phenomenon. As you drive towards it you can feel the desert temperatures climb, and then the humidity begins to rise. The first sign that you are getting near is a swift flowing canal of water. Then … More Media Luna-
After a great time exploring the abandoned mining area and the wonderful pueblo of Mineral de Pozos we were ready for a change. We left the high desert and headed up into the mountains. The Sierra Alvarez area has some great opportunities for boondocking (off grid camping). No services, no fees, no hassles. We found one such … More In the cool mountains of Mexico
Sometimes when we are on the road, we just have to trust our hunches. Trusting hunches can work out well, or it can be all wrong. Mineral de Pozos or San Pedro de las Pozos turned out to be a good hunch. We needed a place that was temperate and calm in contrast to the … More Mineral de Pozos, MX
Guanajuato was a great city for us to spend four weeks in. When we promised ourselves that we would be back, we had no idea that we would enjoy it so much. In addition to our Spanish language classes at La Adelitas we always found events going on and things to fill our time. … More Guanajuato activities and goodbye!
While we were staying in Guanajuato with The Slow Dutchman, everyone began noticing that Seri was more lethargic than normal. We attributed it to challenges with the city walking schedule- some dogs just don’t want to go walk on crowded streets. Then she started to leak urine while laying on her dog bed. At this point … More Visiting a vet in Mexico
